Proverbs 18:12

How To Avoid Fools And Foolishness

¹¹ The wealth of the rich [is] {his strong city}, and like a wall, it is high in his imagination. ¹² In the presence of destruction, the heart of a man will be haughty, but in the presence of honor, humble. ¹³ He who returns a word before he will hear, folly itself [belongs] to him as well as shame.
